Thanks to everyone who came out to APE- It was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed meeting you! The support was overwhelming, and I can't thank you enough for helping to make my first convention experience a success. Please keep in touch!

And now, good news to those who couldn't make it to APE.... I have a good amount of books left for everyone to order online! Additionally there will be limited postcard sets and minicards to purchase as well. At APE, I featured some stuffed ickle and Lardee pins, but they sold out. Stay tuned and I may have more to sell down the line.

I'm currently preparing everything so the buying and shipping will go smoothly, which may take an extra week to get set up. I apologize for the delay, but i'd hate for you to buy the book and wait forever for the book to deliver. To answer a few questions:

Will you ship internationally?

Yes!

Can I reserve a book?

Sorry, I can't handle holding books for anyone right now. But I am pretty sure there is a good chance for everyone to get a book.

Will there be a second printing?

For now, i'm not planning on it. But I have plans for other things to sell down the line, so stay tuned.

Once again, thank you so much for your support- I'll keep you posted when the store is ready!

The Story

When I was young, I placed my baby teeth under my pillow and when I woke up I'd find a shiny new quarter. But whatever happened to those little teeth? Where did they go? Would I ever see them again?

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at my door. First came ickle, a smart and inquisitive little toof with a suitcase full of books. Then came Lardee, a hungry fellow with a penchant for getting into trouble. Together these two milk teef keep me company in my cozy little apartment. Welcome home, my milk toof!
